Spring is here! Well - for today anyway. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and wet again. But, Anna and I went to the park to soak in our near 70 deg. temperatures that we were blessed with today.

Anna played on the playground equipment -- NOT in the mulch! It was so great to see how much her skills have improved since even the Fall. And, she played so nicely with the other kids that were there. Makes this Mommy smile =)

Charlie participated in his first Science Fair on Saturday. His project title was "Opposites Attract", and it was a demonstration of Static Electricity.

For the past 3 or 4 weekends, Charlie, with Jonathan's help, has been working on the project. He did research, performed a couple of experiments, wrote up his findings and displayed it all nicely on a big board.

It wasn't the most exciting of projects -- there was no fancy contraption or anything complicated, but he knew his stuff! He really understood the concepts he was trying to display and demonstrate, and he did a great job of presenting his project to the judges.

As a result - Charlie took home 1st Place for Grades K-2! I am so proud of him and how hard he worked.

Anna Banana Pants

Anna Banana Pants is our third child who has a little something extra...an extra 21st chromosome. Having a child with Down syndrome is not the life sentence that many believe it to be. In fact, it is the probably the greatest blessing we have received as a family. This blog is about Anna, and our everyday family life.
